    Thumbs up College kids making me $ for free.

    We own student housing and when I was mowing the other day I saw 3 recycling bins filled to the brim with beer cans. When I inquired about it, they said that they have that many laying out every weekend. It's not much but every single week getting 3 bins of cans is extra $ in my pocket! plus any parties they have!

    In a lot of areas, it is illegal to remove stuff from recycle bins. Get a garbage can and put it somewhere for them to put the cans in. that way the kids don't have to walk them out to the road.

    Lol. Reminds me of when I was just out of high school. Small town police turned a blind eye quite often. One would have us save our cans for him. Worked out good for both of us I guess.

    If the college is close by then put some advertising together and hit up the college, they (college and students) revolve around computers/laptops/printers/wi-fi/etc.
    Could be a goldmine right there if you get your name out there.
